All of the work for ISObooter and the instructions you see there results from the work of @Rcrsn51. But, the guide is aimed to assist understanding.

Post any comments there.

So now today I have tested 4 different isos on a 4GB USB
and to me IsoBooter is magnitudes easier to handle than Easy2Boot.

Took me very long time to get how E2B wants me to
behave. Sorry I am just different I trust it is the best
for those who love E2B. I love Isobooter So to each his own.
Thanks to rcrsn51 for providing it .

Hasty report. Both of them fail with same isos.
Could be something I set up wrong but
the consistency tells me it is rather something
with these isos and not how one boot them with IsoBooter.

Porteus lxde has this error message at boot and then lock itself
xterm: Cannot load font ....
The other Porteus works wel.

slitaz requests events from the kernel and lock.

those I have decided to keep and that works well are
CrunchBang, Netrunner, Mint Linux LXDE, SolydXK OS
and Zorin OS

I also failed with Suse and Redhat and Mageia but
that was so long time ago me fail to remember
what did happen. I am too lazy to test them again.

Edit after reading answer from rcrsn51. So maybe my Mageia
booted but I failed to mnt the HD for to write changes to html files?
And me misremembered it to be a total failure. I deleted the file
so too lazy to go through it again sorry _________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

I see the isobooter menu.lst: partnew (hd0,3) for temp buffer.
If I run isobooter on my usb drive with a lot of partitions, will created temp buffer overwrite one of my partition?
is there any possibility to create partnew somewhere else, where I want?

The partition (hd0,3) is not a buffer. It is just an entry in the partition table that points into the ISO that you have selected. It doesn't use any actual space on your drive. Every time you pick a new ISO, it points somewhere else.

You can change it to another unused primary partition, but it doesn't work with logical volumes.

Wow! I'm impressed
I used Isobooster yesterday to set up an old pc for my dad. Its only got an ooold 4gb(!) IDE drive, so as per instructions I formatted to fat32, set flag to boot, copied isobooster to the drive, ran it, copied two iso's and ran isobooster again, then put the drive back in and everything worked perfectly!
Savefiles created and worked as normal.
This is such an easy way to set up a pc, thankyou so much!_________________Download a better Computer Puppy Linux SongThe Enchanted Ones

Did you remove the hard drive and connect it to a Puppy machine by a USB adapter?

Could you have simply left the drive in place, booted off a Puppy CD and installed ISObooter via a flash drive?

Yeah, sorry I used a usb adapter as the old pc has no optical drive.
The best way to do it would be to boot from cd, download isobooster and set up the drive while running live (actually it would be pretty handy to have isobooster included with puppy!)._________________Download a better Computer Puppy Linux SongThe Enchanted Ones

I used the grub4dos method as outlined in the first post to boot the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.iso from a 16GB USB flash drive. The reason for choosing grub4dos is that I have used it successfully to boot a number of frugal installs of different Puppies from another flash drive. I would like to be able to boot both Ubuntu and the Puppies from the 16GB flash drive. The Ubuntu iso boot works but there is no persistent storage. Is it possible to set up persistent storage when booting in this way? If it is could somebody please tell me how it is done.
